    Summary

    "At first, when he had been so moved by the display of a priceless and true family bond, he had been convinced that the girl was the one he needed. She was already a demon, after all, and it would have been easy to carve out a space for her within his family. He could have forced her to share that bond she had with her brother-- to give up her life in place of his own-- and finally feel the last pieces of his soul fall into place. At least, that had been his original intention.

    But this boy who wasn't afraid to touch him, scold him, connect with him, discipline him…

    Maybe he could be the one to finally give him what he so desperately wanted."

    AKA a canon-divergent AU in which Tanjiro gets through to Rui with a headbutt and winds up accidentally adopting him in the process.

    Summary

    "Javier Escuella was no stranger to lean times. Hunger was a familiar foe, always dogging his steps from the shadows no matter how long it had been since their last encounter. He didn't enjoy it, of course, but he also didn't fear it the way some of their number did. He also knew his limits, better than probably anyone else, and he knew how far he could push them if need be before he was no longer useful.

    So when the gang arrived at their snowy little refuge in Colter with only the barest of supplies, Javier wasn't too worried. He had survived worse, they had survived worse, and they would again before all was said and done."

    In which Javier does what he must to care for his family, miscalculations are made, and his family cares for him in return.

    Summary

    I want you… to not look back. Arthur’s voice echoes in his head. He knows he’s stupid for even considering going back - he has a family that needs him. Arthur was likely already dead, or, if by some miracle he wasn’t, would be soon. And yet…

     


    They may hate him for it, Arthur may hate him for it, shit, he hates himself for it, but he finds himself turning around to ride a full sprint towards the mountain. He wouldn’t leave his brother to die alone.

     


    What if John went back for Arthur during the gang’s final stand against the Pinkertons?

    Summary

    "'Mierda...' Javier whispered behind his hand, sounding like he might be sick. Even Charles, who unquestionably possessed the strongest constitution of the four of them, couldn't quite manage to keep the look of horrified disgust off of his face, though he carefully schooled his expression back into a mask of calm by the time Sean removed his other boot and looked up at him.

    'I, eh... warned ya it weren't a pretty sight, boys,' Sean said with a shaky laugh, as if that weren't the understatement of the goddamn century.

    'Not a pretty sight? Sean, they... what the hell did they do to you?'"

    Arthur, Charles, and Javier come to Sean's rescue outside Blackwater after his capture by bounty hunters. Unfortunately, he's a little worse for wear than they expected.

    Summary

    Thalia's monthly Iris message with Annabeth was interrupted by shouting and the sound of a scuffle outside her tent. She wasn't sure what she was expecting when she dove through the flaps, spear and shield in hand, but it wasn't several of her Hunters pinning Nico di Angelo to the ground.

    (Canon compliant fic in which Thalia & the Hunters run into a homeless Nico between BOTL & TLO.)
